From Ron Barnes:
It’s not too early to start making your plans to attend the 31st Annual Top of Texas Kickoff Cookoff at the Elk’s Lodge in Irving. The main event is being held on Saturday, May 15th with a “Day after TOT” cookoff on Sunday. For Saturday, we have goody bags for the first 75 registered cooks. We will have a Friday night cook’s party provided by the Lodge. Saturday, the lodge will have breakfast (for a donation) and lunch available. We will have a pot luck dinner Saturday night so stay and party with the winners. Chili entry is $20 with a 2:00 p.m. turn-in. Beans ($5 with 100% payback) and junior chili (free) turn-in at noon. There is no minimum age for junior cooks but they must cook their own chili. Sunday’s entry is $18 and is chili grind only. It’s not too late to send in your pre-registration (see attached flyer below). Look forward to seeing you there!




From Barbara Herrin:
Make plans to come to Sweetwater on May 22 for a great CCO.
